UPDATE! Firmware version 3.69 has dramatically improved the transparency mode! Voices are a lot clearer and natural. Distant noise now sounds normal (this was the biggest improvement). Overall I'd be happy to use transparency when having a conversation and the overall quality is very close to the Liberty 4. Soundcore once again showing why they're the kings. 🙌
What score do you give their transparency mode out of 10? Can you recommend other buds with better transparency maintaining a comfy and secure fit with a similar price?
So, my arm hurt so much from your review, I dropped them in the cart. I already own the LIberty 4's. But, I got them in, got them set and I have not had a more satisfying experience with earbuds in a very long time. In terms of sound quality, these truly get it done. Thanks for being Picky.
You have the best channel on UA-cam regarding audio hardware. Hands down man, you are very smart, structured-thinking and overall amazing video creator!
I wish I knew about this channel ages ago! Thanks for all the detail and for talking about niche stuff that most people skip over. I feel so much more confident about ordering the Liberty 4 NCs now. Bless you!
Another great Picky review. I was definitely surprised with some of the other brands you chose the over. Especially the Evos for sound quality. You now have my attention again Soundcore 😂
Bro i was so confused with the controls i almost surrendered with soundcore cuz the guids don't specify you can configure the controls that much. Thanks to you i know now that i might get this earbuds in the future, great vid!😎
So far, the transparency seems very good actually. I was a little concerned after I watched this review, but I just got mine and tried them out. The transparency seems very good so far. I did have a firmware update during the setup. Maybe that addressed the transparency mode
@@pickyaudio And LOVE them. Tested call quality mic/NC in the car with windows down, barking dogs, running water, flushing toilet. My listener could only detect a few artifacts on occasion, but had no idea what I was doing. AMAZING!
@@SideEffects297Primarily I bought for mic NC on phone calls, but also I find very immersive listening to music. Not an expert, but they're best earbuds I've ever had for both calls and music. I find the music playback great, including plenty bass.
@@SideEffects297I don't have answers to your specific questions on LDAC or Liberty Pro 4. I run a Pixel 7 if that helps on codecs. Music sounds great. NC was great today blocking road/wind/traffic noise on a 2 hour drive. They're the best earbuds I've ever owned but it's been several years since I had expensive Sony's.
Finally... you're one of the UA-camrs that they reached out to make a content early and release it on time, I usually dont buy products until I watch your review. Because there are some UA-camrs claim that these are better than the Airpods Pro 2 and is the ultimate tws lol. A bunch of paid reviewers. I stay Picky only support HONEST reviewrs Keep it up brother!
I had the Soundcore A2 nc but lost them on a bike trail. I don't see them on amazon anymore so I think I'll go with these. The 4nc is 70 on amazon rn. Sounds like a steal to me.
This look really a promising TWS. I will have these TWS tomorrow, ordered it online. I do think we have the same taste and what we are looking for in a TWS. I even prefer this over the Liberty 4 cuz of the bassy signature, we prefer to be bassy and we want full richer sound overall. I understand you because you compared the W240TN to 4NC, that's my previous tws, and it sounds meh and seriously lacking for me out of the box, it got better when I tuned the EQ though. ANC and transparency are also good in W240TN, but after seeing you ranked it 10th and placing 4NC on 5th in terms of ANC, it made me realized I made a good choice there afterall. Haven't tried higher models of Soundcore before, I hope this brand will turn things around. Also good to hear that Transparency was fixed after the update. I'm looking forward, nice content Picky Audio glad to have watched this😁👌
I bought these recently and am really impressed by the sound quality. I use the spoken word EQ setting for listening to music as it turns the bass down a bit, I dont like earbuds being too bassy. I used to use Sony XM4s until I got battery issues with one of the buds and refused to pay £200 for another set of buds that dont last. The only thing I would say I find the ANC to be poor but made up for by the fact that the passive NC is excellent. I found when I toggled wind noise reduction on/off while out walking on a breezy day to make absolutley no differnece. I havent tested airplane mode yet. Great review, subscribed.
@@landonfolken03 but if you use only one of the earbuds, you can just change the audio output of your phone/computer to be "mono" right? So both channels will be sent to both earbuds and you will hear both channels through the single bud you are using?
@@neotheone04that's means he has to do it anytime he's using one earbud and then change it back to stereo when he's using two which can get pretty tiring.
I either lost my liberty pro 3's or they were stolen so, I ordered these for €77 including shipping. I've been so impressed with Soundcore and now everyone in the household has a pair. Even the cheaper pairs sound impressive.
In between SoundPeats Engine 4 and these, which sound do you prefer since on your recent engine 4 review you mentioned it was your favourite tunning from SoundPeats? And how about SoundPeats H1 compared to these?
Engine 4 is slightly more balanced with a wider sound stage. H1 is a more over the top bass boosted tuning. Pure sound quality is so close but SoundPEATS just wins there.
@@farhanchowdhury9291 Depends what you like, for example I personally dont care about ANC or transparency mode, passive noise cancelling works good enough for me, I like to have insane battery life, great sound and dual device connection. And as for calls I personally havent had anyone tell me they cant hear me speak with the engine 4, I have had people say that with the h1 but engine 4 so far has been good.
Beware of poor battery life. A week ago, I decided to test the actual battery life after having it for a year. With ANC on, SBC Codec, it only lasted for about 6 hours. I purchase this from Amazon US. Since they can't ship replacement to NZ they offer me 40% refund, not from price of purchase, but on the price of the current price which was lower than what I paid. The 40% according to the support is because I still have about 5 months left for warranty.
I've iust lost one of my 1st Gen Echo Buds, that I paired with my iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch, so the timing of this video is perfect! Regular AirPods don't stay in my ears, so I need something more fitted. Might have to give these a go.
You're the only reviewer who's ever mentioned Mono audio when using 1 earbud. Thanks for that. Can you confirm if that's still the case please? Is it possible that a software update fixed this?
I've contacted soundcore support about that. Here is there answer : "When using only one earbud of the Liberty 4 or Liberty 4 NC, the audio output will remain according to the settings on your phone. If your phone is set to play stereo sound, it will continue to do so, and you will hear both the left and right channels in the one earbud." So I guess we can call this "mono" if the left and right channels go to one earbud? 😅
Great review Picky Audio. I have been using Soundcore Liberty Air 2 Pro for a long time. I am looking to upgrade to something that will be best for calls. I walk on a noisy street with tons of cars passing by and on the beach with a lot of wind noise. What would you buy for the best noise reduction on the microphone? Thank you again for a great review.
Hello, congratulations for the review. At the same price $, which do you recommend for use in the gym and outdoor walks? I love listening to good rock n roll! Between Liberty 4 and Liberty 4 NC.
FYI, When using multipoint on a windows 11 computer (and possibly other windows versions) If your computer can't discover the liberty 4 nc when pairing, change your "Bluetooth devices discovery" setting from "Default" to "Advanced". This made them discoverable for me. I didn't have to do this with the liberty air 2, space a40, or the JBL live pro 2, but I did with liberty 4 nc. I thought there was an issue with the liberty 4 nc, but this solved the issue
@@pickyaudio ya, I almost returned them because I tried everything else and it wouldn't work. The Liberty 4 NC wouldn't populate on my computer's pairing menu. I have seen other complaints about this online so thought I'd share
fyi actually you can use mono mode on these earbuds but you need to set it on ur phone sound settings.. well its annoying need to open the settings etc etc but it works well to me.. i love to wear one earbuds when riding motorcycle so i set it on my Huawei P40 into mono mode everytime before i start riding
really cool vid bro keep goinggg !!!!!!!!!!!! I'd like to ask which of the soundpeats air 3 pro and earfun air 3 pro is better im really so confused and cant decide which one to get so id like if u can please help me with that would appreciate it so muchhhhhh .
@@pickyaudio oh thank u so much for replying . I was confused because u mentioned some issues with the earfun sound quality. So even with that should I go to earfun as a better option ?
I bought these headphones for 100 dollars on their website and within a week the right earphone burned, and they did not accept the guarantee for being outside the country, a shame, I loved them.
great review man! damn, this vid actually puts me in doubt about soundpeats' engine 4. which do you think is the better sounding tws? I bet you'll give soundcore your vote, seeing your conclusion in the end, but just tell us please
Thanks! Engine 4 bass is slightly more punchy and controlled. Sound stage a bit more open and mids boosted more. Treble is nicer on the 4NC though. It’s really close so can’t say for sure, engine 4 slightly more blacked, 4NC more Bass boosted
@@pickyaudio wow so you're saying both are equal in sense of sound? You also mentioned something about comfort, n soundcore kinda leads here. Hmmmmmm. Which do you is better overall? Lol both aren't ready here in Indonesia btw
I've contacted soundcore support about the "mono mode" because different reviews say different thing. Here is there answer : "When using only one earbud of the Liberty 4 or Liberty 4 NC, the audio output will remain according to the settings on your phone. If your phone is set to play stereo sound, it will continue to do so, and you will hear both the left and right channels in the one earbud.". Don't know what to think because they don't clearly says that it is mono but if all the two channels go to one ear, its called mono, right?
11 months later do you still use them, I love soundcore products even though the original liberty 4’s feel better in my ear I do love them and the liberty 4 nc
The obvious question here is the sound difference. I'm uk the lib4 NC is 80£, whereas the original lib4 are still well over £100. Seems there's is a little difference on the driver spec
The Liberty 4 have dual drivers, and a more convenient squeeze/touch control rather than just basic touch control. Probably better microphones. Other than that, it's pretty much matches it feature for feature and probably gets better battery life. That was pretty much what they did with the space a40. Got worst drivers, worst microphones but otherwise retained all the major features like multipoint and LDAC
Personally I can't stand the earbud sticks design with the long stalk. I much prefer the bud design/bean design that is only visible from the side and looks less ridiculous. I remember when Airpods came out and people wore them with the stalks sticking out of their heads toward the side - looks really stupid! lol
Hi Mate, as always come to your channel for a new pair of buds, was using the EarFun air pro 2s but lost the case and a bud the other day, but they were terrible, tried the pro 3s a while ago but didn’t like no in ear detection. Just scrolling through your videos, and stuck between the Liberty 4NC,s, Space A40s or the EarFun Air Pro 3s again as all 3 of my list doesn’t have in ear detection, the main reason I use them is for taking and making calls outdoors in fairy noisy windy places (work) _ The soundcore pairs are both £80gbp, can get the EarFun pair for £58, which out the 3 do you honestly recommend. Are soundcores worth £22 more?
*These are great, I own a pair. BUT the battery life is NOWHERE NEAR the claimed 8-10 hours if you actually use the features that make these great. Turn on LDAC and ANC and run time drops to 3-3.5 hours at moderate volume. Turn on game mode and crank the volume and it's more like 2.5-3 hours. Still great buds but the battery claims are wildly deceptive by Soundcore.*
L4NC Cons: -Buds are bigger than L4 or SA40 -Sound quality is not significantly better than L4 or SA40, it's just different Get L4NC if ANC is your priority. Otherwise SA40 is a better choice.
@@koningklootzak7788 do you have them to compare? Every review I’ve seen saying l4 nc for ANC, sound, call quality. Same price, so the only win for a40 is they’re smaller
@@shaunbrady15 incorrect. L4NC sound profile isn't better compared to SA40 or L4, it's just different. Transparency is better on L4 or SA40. So it's really up to what you're looking for.
@@koningklootzak7788 I got both space a40 and Liberty 4 NC for both the same price 80$ and in my own experience the A40 sounded worse and the main reason why I returned them was because they were so slippery the earbuds had zero grip and they fell out of my ear 3 times, I returned them immediately and now I'm enjoying Liberty 4 NC a lot.
Hi, do you have a final rating comparison between Liberty 4 and Liberty 4 NC? My Liberty 4 got washed in a washing machine and was thinking to either purchase liberty 4 or liberty 4 NC
I'd like to ask you for recommendation cuz I'm pretty much confused which do u recommend between earfun air 3 pro and soundcore liberty 3 pro. I have watched some reviews but still can't decide would appreciate it much if you can help ...... keep the good work !!!
I have the Huawei free buds pro. Do you think I should replace them? Thank you for your detailed videos. I was hopping but somehow also sure that you would do a video about them!
I'm confused. I own Space A40 and I hear both channels (left and right) when I use only one earbud (easy to test this). I would assume that Liberty 4 NC works the same way.
How do they compare to a40s and liberty 4 in terms of comfort? Did you gf wear them for 2-3h+, since maybe that's when their chunkiness comes into play for people with smaller ears
Lib 4 and A40 are smaller and slightly more comfortable. She wore them for close to two hours. She is used to wearing the Earfun free pro which are a lot smaller.
@@pickyaudio So.. what was her input? Did she feel like they were not very comfortable for her? I heard another reviewer said they were very close to airpods in terms of how they feel and comfort, so im curious if that's the reality of it.
I'm looking for good buds for a workout with a very good sound quality. Is this good for it or I should choose something else? I'm hesitating between this and the Jabra Elite 4 Active. Now I use Galaxy Buds Live for 3 years.
Hi, I would really appreciate it if you could let me know between Soundcore Liberty 4 NC vs Soundpeats Opera 03 vs Edifier W320TN, which one would you get for yourself ignoring the price difference factor? Just want to know base on the quality of the earbuds.
Hey, i ran my buds down all the way to 0%, and I squeezed out around 6h30m - 7h (barely touching 7 hours). After some digging, I found a reddit post where someone copy and pasted the email they got from soundcore after inquiring about the battery life. The email stated "8 hours with ANC off and 6 hours with it on." I'm teetering on the decision of tossing these but I absolutely love the sound and ANC. Any recommendations for ANC like the L4NC at the same price point?
Hello, sorry. I know this is an old video, I wanted to know what's the occlusion score you have for Liberty 4 NC when it comes to Transparency? I can see Melobuds had 4/5.9
UPDATE! Firmware version 3.69 has dramatically improved the transparency mode! Voices are a lot clearer and natural. Distant noise now sounds normal (this was the biggest improvement). Overall I'd be happy to use transparency when having a conversation and the overall quality is very close to the Liberty 4. Soundcore once again showing why they're the kings. 🙌
What do you suggest to get for an earbud. The liberty 4NC or the JBL live pro 2
What score do you give their transparency mode out of 10? Can you recommend other buds with better transparency maintaining a comfy and secure fit with a similar price?
Soundcore maybe are the kings...

Thanks! Yea I never really liked the 1MORE EVO tuning. Seems like I was one of the few
@@pickyaudio I myself only like them using their sound ID, but I like them a lot using it. I don’t care for them using the other EQ options
On the liberty 4N c's. You don't always have to hit the button. You can just pull up the case, and it will open, it's just magnetic.
I only figured this out it the other day haha!
You are really good at what you do, perfect review! Especially like the comparison in the end, makes a purchase decision easier.

Thanks! Engine 4 bass is slightly more punchy and controlled. Sound stage a bit more open and mids boosted more.
Treble is nicer on the 4NC though. It’s really close so can’t say for sure, engine 4 slightly more blacked, 4NC more Bass boosted
@@pickyaudio wow so you're saying both are equal in sense of sound? You also mentioned something about comfort, n soundcore kinda leads here. Hmmmmmm. Which do you is better overall? Lol both aren't ready here in Indonesia btw
I've contacted soundcore support about the "mono mode" because different reviews say different thing.
Here is there answer :
"When using only one earbud of the Liberty 4 or Liberty 4 NC, the audio output will remain according to the settings on your phone. If your phone is set to play stereo sound, it will continue to do so, and you will hear both the left and right channels in the one earbud.".
Don't know what to think because they don't clearly says that it is mono but if all the two channels go to one ear, its called mono, right?
11 months later do you still use them, I love soundcore products even though the original liberty 4’s feel better in my ear I do love them and the liberty 4 nc
Great vid thank you!!!
Thank you, no worries!
The obvious question here is the sound difference.
I'm uk the lib4 NC is 80£, whereas the original lib4 are still well over £100.
Seems there's is a little difference on the driver spec
Yea it's not a massive sound difference
The Liberty 4 have dual drivers, and a more convenient squeeze/touch control rather than just basic touch control. Probably better microphones.
Other than that, it's pretty much matches it feature for feature and probably gets better battery life. That was pretty much what they did with the space a40. Got worst drivers, worst microphones but otherwise retained all the major features like multipoint and LDAC
Do you think they are better than the Soundpeats air4 probor Engine 4? thanks man, great videos
Thanks for this detailed review.. could you please tell according to you which is best bass sounding earbuds?
Super very good review
Thanks!
Had a pair of Bose and they were really underwhelming. I purchased these based on the reviews and my god they are worth every penny
Awesome! 😊
Among Jbl live 2 pro vs soundscore liberty 4 nc which one is good in terms of sound, Anc, app user, not importantly call quality, and comfort
I would tie everything except controls, ANC and app support is better with the 4NC
The problems you name with the Liberty 4NC, everything works right away without delay
Personally I can't stand the earbud sticks design with the long stalk. I much prefer the bud design/bean design that is only visible from the side and looks less ridiculous. I remember when Airpods came out and people wore them with the stalks sticking out of their heads toward the side - looks really stupid! lol
These look great
Hi Mate, as always come to your channel for a new pair of buds, was using the EarFun air pro 2s but lost the case and a bud the other day, but they were terrible, tried the pro 3s a while ago but didn’t like no in ear detection. Just scrolling through your videos, and stuck between the Liberty 4NC,s, Space A40s or the EarFun Air Pro 3s again as all 3 of my list doesn’t have in ear detection, the main reason I use them is for taking and making calls outdoors in fairy noisy windy places (work) _ The soundcore pairs are both £80gbp, can get the EarFun pair for £58, which out the 3 do you honestly recommend. Are soundcores worth £22 more?
Hey! Yea the 4NC are worth the extra money
*These are great, I own a pair. BUT the battery life is NOWHERE NEAR the claimed 8-10 hours if you actually use the features that make these great. Turn on LDAC and ANC and run time drops to 3-3.5 hours at moderate volume. Turn on game mode and crank the volume and it's more like 2.5-3 hours. Still great buds but the battery claims are wildly deceptive by Soundcore.*
People saying these earbuds leaks sound to the outside too much. Is it true Picky? Have you tested it?
Great vid Picky! Which would you choose.. these or the Jabra Elite 7 pros?
Thanks! I'd choose the 4NC since the 7 pro ANC is not great
@@pickyaudio My 🐐
L4NC Cons:
-Buds are bigger than L4 or SA40
-Sound quality is not significantly better than L4 or SA40, it's just different
Get L4NC if ANC is your priority.
Otherwise SA40 is a better choice.
These are better in every way than the a40
@@shaunbrady15 no. Read my comment again.
@@koningklootzak7788 do you have them to compare? Every review I’ve seen saying l4 nc for ANC, sound, call quality. Same price, so the only win for a40 is they’re smaller
@@shaunbrady15 incorrect. L4NC sound profile isn't better compared to SA40 or L4, it's just different. Transparency is better on L4 or SA40. So it's really up to what you're looking for.
@@koningklootzak7788 I got both space a40 and Liberty 4 NC for both the same price 80$ and in my own experience the A40 sounded worse and the main reason why I returned them was because they were so slippery the earbuds had zero grip and they fell out of my ear 3 times, I returned them immediately and now I'm enjoying Liberty 4 NC a lot.
r they worth buying in september 2024 ?
Me, "i will not buy any more earbuds" watches your video, "ok maybe one more"
Hi, do you have a final rating comparison between Liberty 4 and Liberty 4 NC? My Liberty 4 got washed in a washing machine and was thinking to either purchase liberty 4 or liberty 4 NC
I'd like to ask you for recommendation cuz I'm pretty much confused which do u recommend between earfun air 3 pro and soundcore liberty 3 pro. I have watched some reviews but still can't decide would appreciate it much if you can help ...... keep the good work !!!
Thanks! Liberty 3 pro is better overall
Great review! Would you say that the transparency mode is the same, worse or better than the space a40?
With the recent update it is better
i see your ANC ranking has changed for the soundcore liberty 4 and 3 pro. Also, you ranked the space A40 higher, why is that?
Which one is better ?! in the ergonomic and voice quality (better base) liberty 4 or liberty 4nc ?
What’s the best for calling? Liberty 4 NC or Liberty 4?
is the $79 is in USD? Can't get that price using your Amazon link.
Yea USD. That was when they were just released though
Updated SpinFit Omni for True Wireless Earbuds will fit these apparently. Tried the Omni and they DO NOT FIT Liberty 4
I have the Huawei free buds pro. Do you think I should replace them? Thank you for your detailed videos. I was hopping but somehow also sure that you would do a video about them!
Thank you! I’ve never tested them so can’t say for sure
Is it still good to buy in 2024?
link not showing anything except for a search and when searched these don't come up at all for me. Amazon au
Yea they’re not out on Amazon AU yet sadly. Th me Aussie release is always delayed 🥲
I'm confused. I own Space A40 and I hear both channels (left and right) when I use only one earbud (easy to test this). I would assume that Liberty 4 NC works the same way.
Would love if your ANC list also had the $ cost next to each one! Otherwise great!
How do they compare to a40s and liberty 4 in terms of comfort? Did you gf wear them for 2-3h+, since maybe that's when their chunkiness comes into play for people with smaller ears
Lib 4 and A40 are smaller and slightly more comfortable. She wore them for close to two hours. She is used to wearing the Earfun free pro which are a lot smaller.
@@pickyaudio So.. what was her input? Did she feel like they were not very comfortable for her? I heard another reviewer said they were very close to airpods in terms of how they feel and comfort, so im curious if that's the reality of it.
Yea I agree they’re similar to AirPods Pro. She said she felt they were still comfortable
I'm looking for good buds for a workout with a very good sound quality. Is this good for it or I should choose something else? I'm hesitating between this and the Jabra Elite 4 Active. Now I use Galaxy Buds Live for 3 years.
which one has the most volume output / is the loudest and which one has more bass , Soundcore Liberty 4 NC or Soundcore Liberty 4 ? Thank you
I've seen people having way less than advertised battery usage. Can anyone confirm?
Which do you think is a better buy: the space a40 at €70 or the Liberty 4 nc at €85?
Mine didnt even last a full day before my left earbud started making a shrieking loud static sound.
What replacement eartips fit for this one?
Hi, I would really appreciate it if you could let me know between Soundcore Liberty 4 NC vs Soundpeats Opera 03 vs Edifier W320TN, which one would you get for yourself ignoring the price difference factor? Just want to know base on the quality of the earbuds.
Hey, 4NC
Thanks mate! Keep up the good work!
Hey, i ran my buds down all the way to 0%, and I squeezed out around 6h30m - 7h (barely touching 7 hours). After some digging, I found a reddit post where someone copy and pasted the email they got from soundcore after inquiring about the battery life. The email stated "8 hours with ANC off and 6 hours with it on." I'm teetering on the decision of tossing these but I absolutely love the sound and ANC. Any recommendations for ANC like the L4NC at the same price point?
Ceointhemaking making an appearance
My boy!
Hello, sorry. I know this is an old video, I wanted to know what's the occlusion score you have for Liberty 4 NC when it comes to Transparency? I can see Melobuds had 4/5.9
Will this be good and gaming? Using iphone 13 pro max.
Just about sound quality, JBL Pro 2 vs Liberty 4 NC, who is the winner
